Rain Hampered the Fire Fit event on this past Saturday and Sunday.  There seemed to be more participants than spectators but a good time was had by all that were there.

Search For the Perfect Pint Committee did a brewery visit last Friday to talk to the patrons, promote the event and sell tickets.  Another one is happening this Friday and volunteers will meet at The Well at 7:00 pm.  Ticket sales have been going well.
